Evident in the very existence of our hobby is music’s unique ability to reach us with a certain profundity that exists well outside of what we can hear. It can be said that feelings are what we’re chasing, and if invoked by the most convincing portrayal of your dearest recordings, those feelings can be all the more profound. A sonic image can thus be priceless, and we’ve designed Starling to realize that image in your system. Added to the resonance-optimized headblock \u0026amp; generator borrowed from Songbird, Starling implements a rigid boron cantilever finished with an ultra-low-mass Microridge stylus. Microridge is a diamond profile highly regarded worldwide for its even-handedness while simultaneously delivering richness \u0026amp; clarity. Bonded to our assembly, rarely has this famous stylus achieved such agility in the groove — certainly not at Starling’s price.

Bass enthusiasts are in for a treat here. Full \u0026amp; warm yet defined \u0026amp; textured, the coziness of the bass will invite you right in. It doesn’t stop there, however.

As strongly as we stand behind Blue Point No. 3 High, Blue Point No. 3 Low is a game changer. Owners of MC phono stages can experience the same listenability mentioned above, but with the depth \u0026amp; imaging typical of a low-output design, then some. As with its predecessors, Blue Point No. 3 remains a high-value performer that’s easy on your pocket book, and with the introduction of Blue Point No. 3 Low, there’s a Blue Point for everyone!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eDesign Principle: Low Output Moving Coil\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eMass: 6g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eStylus: 0.3 x 0.7mil Elliptical\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eCantilever: Aluminium Pipe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eCoils: High-Purity Copper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eInternal Impedance: 135Ω\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eLoad Impedance: 47kΩ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFrequency Response: 13Hz – 35kHz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eOutput: 2.5mV @ 1kHz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eChannel Separation: 30dB @ 1kHz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eChannel Balance: \u0026lt;1dB @ 1kHz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eCompliance: 12×10-6cm\/dyn @ 100Hz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eCapacitance: 100pF – 200pF\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eVertical Tracking Angle: 20°\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eTracking Force Range: 1.8g – 2.2g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eRecommended Tracking Force: 2.0g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eReplacement Stylus Unit: Re-Tip Exchange (See Dealer)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eAudiolab Stereo \u0026amp; Video Center\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Sumiko","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51811107209582,"sku":"SUMBLUP3HIG","price":599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/1537\/4703\/files\/sumblup3hig4__93784.1687289827.3000.3000_2nd.jpg?v=1738852957"},{"product_id":"sumiko-rs78-78-rpm-stylus","title":"Sumiko RS78 78 RPM Stylus","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eSumiko RS78 78 RPM Stylus - Sumiko\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e78rpm Stylus for Next-Gen Oyster MM Phono Pick-Ups\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eSumiko is excited to be introducing the long-awaited RS 78 stylus for 78rpm discs!

Meant to track the ‘microgrooves’ of 33s \u0026amp; 45s, it will sound poor and cause undue harm to the disc (and potentially the cartridge!). Sumiko has developed RS 78 for this very reason. The stylus tracks the grooves properly and reduces the risk of harm to your collection. Keep in mind that Rainier, Olympia \u0026amp; Moonstone are stereo MM phono cartridges, meaning that their normal job is to transcribe 2 channels (left and right) of musical information. When using RS 78 with any of these cartridges, what you’ll hear is the one channel of musical information (mono) of the 78 in both stereo channels. For audiophile purposes as it pertains to 78s, a true mono cartridge with a 78-appropriate stylus delivers the best sonics.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand-Crafted in Japan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eFrom Oyster to Reference, each Sumiko phono cartridge is crafted by hand in Yokohama, Japan — near the waters where our namesake Oysters dwell.
